Description
Describe the bug
I am working with python and Jupyter files (.ipynb) files and the vim plugin works fine. But when I open a large CSV file (about 30k lines), the vim plugin hangs and doesn't work until I restart VSCode or for 5-6 minutes. At the same time, VSCode itself works.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open VSCode with VIM plugin
- Open a big .csv file (3+ MB)
- See the freeze plugin
Expected behavior
No freeze expected
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.25.2
- VSCode version: 1.76.2
- OS: Ventura 13.2.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the freeze in the VSCodeVim extension with a CSV file over 3 MB or about 30,000 lines, using the reported VSCode and extension versions if possible. Compare the plugin's behavior with VSCode itself and inspect the extension's processing of large files. Done means opening the file no longer makes Vim commands unresponsive for several minutes.
